Packers Defeat Commanders 27-18 in Primetime NFL Clash

The Green Bay Packers improved to a 2-0 start in the 2025 NFL season with a solid 27-18 victory over the Washington Commanders on Thursday night at Lambeau Field. The Packers showcased a dominant defense, especially in their pass rush and run defense, limiting the Commanders to just 51 rushing yards and applying constant pressure on quarterback Jayden Daniels, who managed only 200 passing yards with a low yards-per-attempt rate. Green Bay’s offense started fast, led by quarterback Jordan Love and standout tight end Tucker Kraft, who caught six passes for 124 yards, including a 57-yard reception. The Commanders, carrying the NFL's oldest roster, struggled significantly on offense, producing just 11 total yards in the first quarter and facing key injuries to players Austin Ekeler, Deatrich Wise, and John Bates. Despite Daniels' previous reputation for clutch plays in his rookie season, Washington was overpowered by the younger and quicker Packers team throughout the game. The win signals Green Bay as a strong contender in the NFC this season, echoing their last 2-0 start in 2020 when they reached the NFC title game.
